Sun Chunlan, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, recently mentioned when investigating the epidemic prevention and control work in Beijing that after the outbreak of the new cluster epidemic, the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attached great importance to it and adopted a series of effective measures. Targeted prevention and control measures have achieved positive results in epidemic prevention and control. However, she also pointed out that the epidemic directly related to Xinfa has been basically controlled, but some clusters of epidemics in families and units and sporadic cases in communities have also been discovered. Epidemic prevention and control cannot be taken lightly.
On the occasion of the Dragon Boat Festival , the Beijing New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Leading Group held a special meeting and also emphasized that the Dragon Boat Festival comes at a critical period for the prevention and control of the epidemic and is another direct test of our work. It is necessary to strictly implement the requirements of various measures, strictly prevent the risk of epidemic spread, maintain the proper order of production and life, and allow citizens to have a healthy and safe Dragon Boat Festival holiday. The Beijing Epidemic Prevention and Control Conference on June 24 also emphasized that "you should not leave Beijing unless necessary during the Dragon Boat Festival."
The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese festival and a national statutory holiday. In previous years, many citizens would travel, party or participate in various offline activities during the Dragon Boat Festival to relax and enjoy themselves. But obviously, under the epidemic, this traditional way of celebrating the festival will face certain adjustments. “Epidemic prevention and control must not be taken lightly,” relevant departments remind, “Don’t go out of Beijing unless necessary during the Dragon Boat Festival.” Therefore, for citizens, during this Dragon Boat Festival holiday, they may as well “not go out unless necessary” and try to stay at home to avoid the epidemic, or Activities in small groups within the community for a safe and healthy holiday.
At present, clustered epidemics and sporadic cases cannot be underestimated. For example, a few days ago, a cluster of epidemics occurred in a food company in Beijing, resulting in multiple infections. The factory suspended production and operations, and the area where it is located has been upgraded to a high-risk area. The cost is not small. In fact, according to previous reports, as of 24:00 on June 17, eight cluster epidemics related to the Xinfadi Market had occurred in Beijing. This all means that the current epidemic prevention and control situation in Beijing is still complex and severe, and the prevention of cluster epidemics is still at a critical juncture and must not be taken carelessly.
Compared with usual times, it is more necessary to tighten the strings of epidemic prevention and control during the holidays. On the one hand, citizens are easily exposed to crowds when going out, and if protective measures are not taken, the risk of virus infection will be increased; on the other hand, going out for fun and gatherings will actually increase the risk of infection for other people, which is not conducive to overall epidemic prevention. Therefore, "not going out unless necessary" should become the consensus of citizens now. Taking this as a starting point, grasping the important window period for epidemic prevention and control during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday is crucial to Beijing's epidemic prevention and control.
Of course, it needs to be pointed out that citizens should try not to go out as much as possible, and public service departments also need to provide a variety of online holiday products for citizens to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival "on the cloud" to meet the emotional and entertainment needs of citizens while making every effort to curb the spread of the epidemic.
In fact, while Beijing is not organizing large-scale offline cultural activities this year, it has organized and carried out online the "Dragon Boat Festival in the Cloud", "Dragon Boat Festival in the Cloud", "Dragon Boat Festival in the Cloud", "Dragon Boat Festival in the Cloud" and "Dragon Boat Festival in the Cloud". There are six online categories and 70 key cultural activities including "Online Shopping for Dragon Boat Festival". Citizens and netizens can " dragon boat races", "make rice dumplings" and "go to exhibitions" online. Although these new business formats and models spawned by the epidemic are different in form, they can still create a more attractive leisure consumption and entertainment space and create a strong festival atmosphere.
In short, during this special Dragon Boat Festival, epidemic prevention and control cannot be relaxed. During this Dragon Boat Festival, we still need to build a strong epidemic defense line to curb the spread of the epidemic. At the same time, public service departments need to provide a variety of online products to ensure that citizens achieve a balance between celebrating the holidays and preventing the epidemic.
Of course, citizens do not need to be overly anxious and panic. They can relax and comply with relevant epidemic prevention requirements and have a healthy and peaceful Dragon Boat Festival at home. Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival "in the cloud" can not only prevent the epidemic, but also find new experiences and fun. Citizens may wish to actively participate in it.
